Investors & landlords
It depends. There are a couple of critical areas such as whether you have said you are renting at 'fair rental value' (FRV) and whether you are renting for a profit. Also, if your income is over the threshold for allowing any passive losses that could also be a factor.
Phaseout Rule: The maximum special allowance of $25,000 ($12,500 for married individuals filing separate returns and living apart at all times during the year) is reduced by 50% of the amount of your modified adjusted gross income that’s more than $100,000 ($50,000 if you’re married filing separately). If your modified adjusted gross income is $150,000 or more ($75,000 or more if you’re married filing separately), you generally can’t use the special allowance. This is because the special allowance is reduced to $0 since the modified adjusted gross income is over the $100,000 amount.
